The 2007 event took place on March 31st and the projects completed included :

  • Paint/Repair Sightscreens
  • Clean/Paint Pavilion Exterior
  • Preparation work on square and outfield
  • Completion of new Nets facility
  •     Ground and Sightscreen renovations

    In 2006 over 1000 clubs took part and at Purley on Thames CC we used the event to complete a number of important tasks around the club. 

    On the back of the 2005 event the club was selected to take part in FUNdamentals, a funded scheme to introduce cricket to 6 to 9 year olds, this was the launch platform for our successful "Starters" section.


    FUNdamentals

    Purley on Thames CC was one of the clubs identified by the ECB to develop additional junior sections at their clubs focussing on the long term development of 6 to 9 year olds. CricketForce 2005 secured funding through Sportsmatch to introduce the programme which will involve developing partnerships with local schools and setting up summer coaching sessions.
